6. Freeze foods in practical meal-
sized packages.
7. Fill container properly. When
placing liquid or semi-liquid foods
in containers, leave about 1/2" at
top (1-1/2"for glass containers) to
allow for expansion during freezing.
Toquick-freeze small amounts of
food, place it in direct contact with
any refrigerated shelf.
8. Freeze corwct quantities.
There is an established maximum
of food your freezer is designed to
freeze at one time—approximately
3 pounds per cubic foot of freezer
capacity. In normal position, your
freezer's control dial will maintain
sufficiently low temperatures in the
freezer to freeze recommended
quantities of food.
To quick-freeze large amounts of
food, turn control to No. 7. Return it
to No. 4 after freezing is completed.
Never freeze more than three
pounds of food per cubic foot of
freezer capacity at onetime.
if you have a large quantity of food
to freeze, store part ~f it in your
refrigerator'sfresh food compartment
until the first quantity is frozen.
